Burden of Addiction on Society

Substance abuse and addiction have grave consequences on our existing social systems

Drug abuse disrupts families, shreds the social fabric in neighborhoods, leads to loss of jobs and income, contributes to poor school and job performance, and is often a causal factor in domestic violence and auto accidents. The consequences of substance abuse for children in society are especially tragic. Addiction is a family disease.
